The Untapped: After playing the expose game

REDKP

29-June-2022



" Yennaikum Aasaikum Peraasaikum Nadakura Porla Peraasai Jeikkum ( In a war between desire and avidity, end of the day avidity is the winner)."

" This template is the poster of a 2015-tamil movie "Thani Oruvan". Hmmm, till today I do all my writing alone. So, I am Thani Oruvan (A Sole One)."


" So, the last time we blogged on the KBC scam, we thought we were done. But, fate did not leave us, it ended up taking us into a universe of scams. So the team decided that whenever something investigatory, draft it into RIU (Redkp's Investigation Universe), just like the MCU ( Marvel's Cinematic Universe)."


" Essential Recaps:


" Before getting into the investigation part, Scam or fraud means to intentionally deceive a reasonable man out of something by manipulation of facts or an angle of a suspect."


" Someone did say Rules and regulations engalukku (Rules and regulations are not meant for us), If you have any keep it to yourself. For the larger good, you are required to act unethically at times. ( Are we doing something unethical this time?) End of the day: Naanga Thappu Panravanga ila...Thappa Thatti kekuravanaga ( Stupid justification: We don't commit wrong, instead we fight against wrongdoers)."

" Quoting it in bold, every emotional crime has an organized part in it."

" We did all the possible angles of investigating the scam previously, but after discovering various kinds of scams in this span of exile, I understood that I misjudged the whole file, which riffed a few speculations."

"Valka Oru Vattam Athula Jaikriravan Thopan Thokravan Jaipan. ( Life is a boomerang, the winner will lose, the loser the will win). Yaanaikum adi sarukkum( Every beast will have a slip)."

" As I knew these dialogues from the beginning, I started researching what aspects I missed out in the last outing."

" So, let's get into REDKP's universe of angles. Aarambikalamgala...... (Let's go)."


" Disclaimer: Not blatantly accusing but obviously after wearing that blue glass, REDKP will look for all angles (Regular readers might have already spotted this reference from our previous works )."


" Untapped 1: The locations





" Hmmm, these were the shots which had been attached last time. Now, to be honest, I have understood that these locations may not be true. There are a few sub angles for this angle itself."


" Now, this could be a scam call centre operating from a small 100 sq ft room or maybe even an 11000 sq ft huge office building, that doesn't matter. The only setup for such operations is a high-speed internet connection, masked phone number and a fake name to address the victim."


" I speculate that the above locations are just masked and we can't track their exact locations using such basic mechanisms. Maybe in the case of the KBC-related scam, this location could be authentic as they just operate with a basic level of sense and the lowest possible tolerance."


" (Swear alert, in situ, in parallel, a meeting of scammers) These KBC scammers are just a group of idiotic, undereducated pieces of b*****rds.Just barely scam for the range of 10-20k in the name of tax. Come on scam big if you are to grow and frick out quick, you are supposed to ask for a realistic % of the ironical ungiven sum as tax amount. These KBC scammers are just a ******** disgrace to our scamming industry. Someone above us watching everything happening to us (Yellam Mela irukkuruvan angle)."


" Untapped 2: The mobile numbers



" After 15 days, after learning a few things about scamming and click-baiting, I am sure now about this, the numbers from which we receive such calls and the initial locations traced might not be indicative of their true identity. They are jokers in changing their numbers, I understand these ( Swear alert) ******* jokers, their mechanisms and all kinds of A-Z about them."


" I made a note of these KBC scammers. In both the cases, they threw their hooks toward me, as if I were a big fish, waited around 10 minutes for the fish to call me to be trapped and then as I didn't get trapped, they most probably deactivated their numbers immediately as a precaution. Smartness is that they could again approach you with a different number, different code. Even if tried to track them, it is very tough to get the exact location of their base. The tracking mechanisms we exercised could have only gotten to the generalised spot, even if the tracked locations were authentic."


" I know more about this Industry, but I would like to scratch them in this universe in the future."


"( In situ: A phone call b/w two phishers) Hey what if EX-RED gets to know that REDKP has already written about the KBC industry."


" Untapped 3: The biggest weapon of exploitation


" Hmmm, let us start with a real example. Ask any contestant who has won a legit lottery or maybe KBC. The question is- Did you get the whole of the prize money allocated to you. The person while answering this question would have a stomach burn."


" Let us get into this legally. Under section 194B of the Income Tax Act, 1961:


  • If the Prize money exceeds Rs 10,000, then the winner will receive the prize money after the deduction of TDS @31.2% u/s 194B.

  • In the case of winnings from horse races, TDS will be applicable if the amount exceeds Rs 10,000.

  • Please note that it does not matter whether the income of the winner is taxable or not. The prize distributor is liable to deduct tax at the time of payment.

"The third point in the bold is that point where a majority of the minority people getting scammed are being trapped."


" There a whopping 31.2 per cent of TDS on prize money won through any reality show or a legit lottery."


" I already made that reference of these KBC phishers in the scammer's perspective."


"Let's see how these ( Swear alert) ********* idiots operate in the name of the KBC."


" If you by chance land into the scammer's plot, as per their script, they will ask you to pay a sum in the range 15k-20k as TDS recovery against an offered lottery amount of 25 lakh rupees. ( Swearing out again in my mind at 12:52 A.M. while typing out this, ****) It is just foolish."


" See for a legit 25 lakh lottery, a TDS recovery of 7.8 lakh (31.2 of maths) is to be deducted by the organiser and the leftover amount will be handed over to the winner. That the maths around it and these phishers to ensure your confidence, ask for a small sum and then will end up scamming you."


" I have just scratched the back of this phishing industry. So, I do have instalments with them in the pipeline as time passes, phishers find different routes to scam. But we shall say:

Tha Pathukalaam (Let's face it)

" Disclaimer: Whatever written in situ is just creative liberty, not to be taken seriously."


" ( In situ: 2nd July after the release of the second instalment, scammers big gathering at their alleged kingpin's place whose name is .....EX-RED... What he addressed is to be confidential as of now, but REDKP has heard everything through a bug and just says this)


" Naan Veezhen Endru Ninaithaiyo (Did you think I would fall)."

" I am Waiting....."

" This file will be left open. As I have a maths with you scammers, I will make more instalments. Let this be an open-handed file ( corollary to an open-handed map)."

"Enna,Oru Vaati Mudivu Panta, Yen Pecha Naane Kekka Maaten ( Once committed, won't listen to myself). Then Decided to look into the development of RIU."

MCU has many references and callbacks to their prequels, but RIU vera level pa. The dialogues, callbacks and references in this was just Semma Mass.

Everything changes from time to time, but REDKP and his glasses of speculation won't change🔥🔥🔥.
